Chapter 169: A Cruel Choice
Liu Zhi couldn't help but be silent, he felt that he had embarked on a hopeless dead end, with less than six years left, even if he obtained the cultivation technique of the Ning Yuan Period, how could he compare to the Yan Clan people who had cultivated for countless years!
The means that human beings rely on the most can always be all kinds of modern high-tech, and cultivation can provide tremendous productivity, but it cannot be the key factor in winning the game!
However, there are no other lanes around it, and there is no turning back.
Liu Zhi was so anxious that he wanted to scratch his head for a while, but he couldn't show it, as the leader, even if Mount Tai collapsed, his face would not change, even if this news was countless times more serious than the collapse of Mount Tai!
Closing his eyes and taking a light breath, Liu Zhi tried his best to control his chaotic thoughts, and turned to Wei Zhi and said, "Teacher Wei, since it is very likely that thermal weapons cannot be manufactured, when will we be able to make modern weapons with greater power?" ”
Wei Zhi thought for a while and said: "If all the conditions are met, three or five years is enough, if not, it may take decades or even hundreds of years." ”
Liu Zhi frowned slightly and said, "Let's talk about these conditions specifically." ”
Wei Zhi replied: "The first thing is to solve the problem of energy, we have explored nearby, and we have not found the existence of oil, if there is no oil, we must find other energy sources with similar utility instead, otherwise we can only rely on solar energy, wind and water power to develop industry, the output is very limited, and science and technology are destined to not recover quickly." ”
"The second is that we must gather enough professionals to reshape the complete scientific and technological system, when we are on the earth, all kinds of theoretical knowledge have been quite rich accumulation, want to check what information, the library or the network can be done, and now, these accumulations are gone overnight, the human brain can remember the knowledge is limited after all, so even if we have a population of millions or even tens of millions, it will take a long time to sort out and experiment, in order to reshape or build a new scientific and technological system, and then enter the information age, At that time, it was possible to manufacture modern weapons with great power. ”
"Finally, the necessary conditions for industrial development, the world must roughly meet, it doesn't matter if there is a slight deviation, but if it is contrary, our previous ......"
He couldn't go on when he said this, because Liu Zhi raised his hand to stop him.
Liu Zhisuan understood that even if there was a large enough population, the possibility of developing enough technology to defeat the Yan Clan within six years was very small, and the only thing that could be done now was to overcome the difficulties and move on, but now there was only no hope, but the road ahead may not be impossible.
Glancing at Wei Zhi and Luo Shida, Liu Zhi said: "Let's talk about this generator, at this stage, what kind of help can it provide to the tribe?" ”
Wei Zhi replied: "The biggest help is to increase the production of armaments, now the Material Bureau plus Wang Yimin, there are only three wood decomposers, although we can fire a rough model of hexagonal wood in advance, we can save a lot of effort, but the output is still very low, and now the hexagonal gun alone is no longer available, let alone applied to other armaments." And with this generator, you can use the oldest hexagonal wood as a saw blade to make a batch of chainsaws, and then it will become very simple to cut hexagonal wood, and mass production of armaments will no longer be a problem. ”
Liu Zhi nodded, a little satisfied, now the strength is close to three thousand, the production of armaments has indeed become a rather thorny problem, the material bureau has not stopped working overtime for more than a month, there have been a lot of complaints, thinking of this, he thought a little and said: "Since the hexagonal wood energy is produced, the steel produced should be used in civil affairs as much as possible, and more auxiliary production machinery will be built." ”
"As for the military aspect, all the protective gear can be made of hexagonal wood, first made into thin sheets and connected in series, and wrapped with two layers of animal skins inside and outside, the protective effect is definitely much better than that of steel helmets and steel armor, I will explain this matter to Qiu Yuancai, you jointly draw up a plan for armament production, pay attention to the equipment of scouts, sword and shield soldiers, pikemen, and archers to have their own emphasis, and try to give full play to their respective combat advantages, if the production of hexagonal wood can't keep up, go directly to Jing Ning, I will greet her in advance."
"Yes, my subordinates remember."
Liu Zhi was just about to leave, but suddenly remembered another thing, turned around and said, "By the way, Mr. Wei, the crossbow should be able to be made now, right?" ”
"Naturally, what specifications does the leader want?" Wei Zhidao.
Liu Zhi thought for a while and said: "Ease of carrying is definitely the most important, secondly, the power is enough, it is best to be able to cause effective damage within one hundred and fifty meters, and then there is the problem of control, the loading of crossbow arrows should be fast, it must be conducive to aiming, if the scope can be made, it would be the best." Of course, the main thing is to be based on being able to mass production, and if any of them affect mass production, you can simply abolish them. ”
Wei Zhi said: "I understand, when the sample is ready, I will show you it as soon as possible." ”
"Yes, you can."
After walking out of the building of the Scientific Research Bureau, Liu Zhi sent Fu Kui to the Material Bureau and instructed Qiu Yuancai to put the research rewards in place as soon as possible, so that these scientific research workers could not enjoy the corresponding treatment.
…………
After Huang Han and Wu Yang left, Liu Zhi returned to the mountain palace alone, and after eating in the restaurant, he didn't know what to do, his current state, cultivation must not be calm, and there was no government affairs to deal with, so he simply carried a bottle of wine and came to the open-air balcony again.
The wine is self-brewed by the tribe, only more than thirty degrees, with Liu Zhi's current physical strength, even if he drinks four or five catties, he will not be drunk, he just wants to dispel his inner sorrow, and now it has been more than seven months, everything was originally in his plan, but what happened today made him feel a little powerless.
He still deeply remembers that in that big battle, the overwhelming superiority of the Yan Clan's troops was displayed, even the most ordinary soldiers could easily release their vitality, kill and injure the enemy in the air, and condense into an air shield defense, and even later he heard that the Yan Clan also had a corresponding formation, and with the power of hundreds of warriors, they could launch extremely powerful attacks, or work together to resist the attack.
These are the signs of the Condensation Period, the products derived from the cultivation civilization, how can human beings compete with them if they lack scientific and technological advantages?
As for the cultivation techniques of the Ning Yuan Period, Liu Zhi knew that there must be one place, but there was a group of extremely terrifying creatures living in it, even the weakest of them could be matched with the human awakened people at the peak of the Xuan Body, and the most powerful ones had definitely reached the Ning Yuan Period, and they had to be filled with the lives of countless soldiers and brave men before it was possible to kill them.
In the previous life, a certain force sacrificed countless soldiers in order to conquer that place, but there was no one left alive, and later a scholar with the skills of "beast language" studied the text of the half-werewolf thoroughly, and studied it painstakingly for more than half a year before translating the exercise. However, at that time, the Qi Conduction Technique had already been popularized throughout the Terran Race, and there was only less than a month left before the Rock Clan invaded.
Moreover, it was only the core cultivation exercises, and the corresponding martial arts, body protection, formations, and the like had not been discovered at all.
Although the border wasteland is vast, there should be many similar secret realms, but Liu Zhi only knows this one, even if other places are found and forcibly conquered at the cost of the lives of countless soldiers, there is no guarantee that there will be gains.
Liu Zhi knew that if a small number of people were not sacrificed, there would be no need to fight that war in six years, and thousands of times more human beings would be killed and enslaved because of this. But he is also a man of flesh and blood, and he really can't bear to let those soldiers who have worked so hard to cultivate die in vain.
This is undoubtedly the most worrying place for Liu Zhi.
And now, fate has forced him to embark on this path.
